🌍 A milestone moment at #COP29! Save Soil has signed an MOU with Uzbekistan's Ministry of Ecology, committing to restore land and address soil health challenges, including the degraded lands around the Aral Sea.
Uzbekistan is emerging as a true leader in tackling soil degradation across the Caucasus. By focusing on soil, we’re not just protecting our climate but ensuring food security for future generations. Together, we’re turning potential into action – right from the ground up.

Without rich soil, there is no rich life and no richness in the food we eat. Rich soil means vibrant life. It is my wish and blessing that every life on the planet thrives. This is why the #SaveSoil movement—to make the planet absolutely hospitable for all life. Let us make it happen. -Sg #COP29Baku #COP29
After three years of relentless efforts by the #SaveSoil movement, a global climate conference is finally focused on “A Green World.” We hope Azerbaijan leads Central Asia and sets an example for the rest of the world by demonstrating how revitalizing agricultural soil is a key aspect of climate change mitigation. -Sg

With his simplicity and sincerity to offer his best to the nation, Dr. Abdul Kalam broke social limitations and went from a simple village boy to being one of the most prominent aeronautical engineers in the world, and the President of India. #AbdulKalam
They can hate him, they can abuse him, they can slander him, they can run campaigns against him, but he is India’s greatest soft power in the world. Spreading his love, joy and striving day and night to raise human consciousness - the one and only @SadhguruJV
A lot of people seem to be painfully "TRIGGERED" by seeing a photo frame of Sadhguru's feet being sold so I thought I'd make a post about The significance of the Guru's Feet which is highly talked about in Hinduism (and even Sikhism) and if it's okay for such photos to be "sold" for money.
Vande gurūṇāṃ caranāravinde saṃdarśitasvātmasukhāvabodhe niḥśreyase jāṅgalikāyamāne saṃsārahālāhalamohaśantyai
"I bow to the lotus like feet of the Guru, which have shown us the bliss of our own Ātman most excellent, acting like the forest doctor removing the most deadly poison that produces the delusion of saṃsāra (the cycle of birth and death). "The first line of the mantra lays the foundation for the relationship between Guru and student, stating “I bow (vande) to the lotus feet (caraṇa-aravinde) of the Guru.” (Gurūṇāṃ – plural is used as a respectful form.) For many years, I touched the feet of my Guru with only a limited understanding of its real significance. I focused my attention on my Guru as an individual with all his own qualities, along with a certain amount of attachment to him as a person. There is a lot of merit, of course, in the respect that we have for our teachers as people, but familiarity can easily get in the way of the teachings that we hope to receive. When we state that we are bowing to the Guru’s lotus feet, rather than to the personality, we are really bowing to the spiritual knowledge that is held in the Guru’s heart, which we hope will transfer to us. The Guru’s lotus feet are synonymous with the Ātman, or soul, which is sat cit ānānda, the highest truth and the source of permanent joy within us. It is this spiritual knowledge that reveals (saṃdarśita.) and awakens (avabodha) us spiritually to the bliss (sukha) of our own Ātman (sva-ātma). In this way, the Guru’s role is well beyond the personal, guiding us toward a direct experience of something within us; something that does not rely on external relationship.
The true Guru, having directly experienced and understood the nature of the Ātman, attempts to bring the realization of that same knowledge within the student. This process has been described in some traditions as the Guru placing their lotus feet within the heart of the student. It is said that by touching the Guru’s feet, we are taking the dust from the path that he or she has traveled, leading to their own spiritual awakening. Placing the dust on our eyes symbolically opens them for our own illumination."
Now some people are saying by selling such a photo this is immoral, unethical, a sham, fraudulent behavior, etc etc. If we can touch the feet of our elders, our gurus, and people we look upto, what is wrong with keeping a photo of their feet? If someone is happy about it - what is your problem? Is it wrong to charge money? Being a spiritual organization doesn't mean you don't charge money, being a non-profit organization doesn't mean you don't charge money, it simply means that the revenue earned goes back into the organization. There are over 7,000 full time volunteers at Isha Foundation, hundreds of centers across the world, multiple ashrams, so many projects and initiatives run by @ishafoundation. If they are charging money for programs, for photos, so they can fund all this, what is your problem? "Oh in the old days gurus never charged money" - Yeah buddy in the old days the Kings would sponsor all the ashrams, would sponsor all the social projects. Now you have to earn it on your own. If Sadhguru begged for the money you would say - "Oh look at him he's a beggar." Now he is charging " Oh look at him he's charging money." The problem is not in him charging money, it's just that when you have biases and prejudices against someone or what they represent, you will become an expert at creating problems!
From loss to hope! Kannamma transformed her barren land into a thriving farm with Cauvery Calling's help. Her Mahogany, Rosewood, and Malabar Neem trees are now securing her grandchildren’s future.
Last financial year, #CauveryCalling's on-ground executives visited over 32,000 farms and empowered thousands of farmers like Kannamma.

@_SaumyaJaiswal@UNCCD@narendramodi Humans are made out of food, #SaveSoil is our food maker and 87% of life on planet depends on Soil. Children having exposure to Soil build more immunity. Microbes in Soil are proven to lift mood by triggering serotinin in humans. No wonder, Soil boosts mental health. #cpsavesoil
@UNEP@andersen_inger Biomonitoring studies reveal pesticide residues, phthalates, flame retardants, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, heavy metals and microplastics in our bodies. Toxic substances can even be found in newborn infants-UNHR

In 20 years 40% less food is expected to be produced for 9.3 billion people. Soil is the foundation and Soil health needs to be improved by organic content to a minimum of 3-6%.
